Instances of Terrible Atroci

tier Related by Novelist.
BUTCHERY OF PRIESTS
Old Men and Peasants Put to
Death in Barbarous
Manner;
By International News Service.
LOXDOX. Xov. -1. Many instances
of terrible atrocities on the Serbo-Turkish
frontier since the war began are
iriven by the Servian novelist, Dragu
t in .f. Hitch, in a -letter to the Jiudgct
received today. Tc says;
'In the villas of Dubrovat., - on
Turkish territory, tho. Turks entered
the house of a priest, named Philip Ku
manoviteh and seizing him roughly,
dragged him into the road and cut oil"
his nose, ears and lips. Thus mutila
ted, they paraded the priest through
the streets of the village to show him
to the peasantry. "When finally the
unhappy man foil to tho road in his
agony, the Turks savo him a finishing
slroko by putting a bullet through his
head.
From J)ubroval:: the Turks proceed
ed to the next village, where they
seized another priest, by jiaino Peter
Piacaline. 11 im they ticatcd in a simi
larly inhuman fashion, at last putting
an end to his sufferings by shooting
him with a revolver.'
Cut Into Morsels.
Jn the village of (Jradina, Turkish
soldiers caught -n unfortunate peasant
named Voin Tanish and cut him into
morsels. Jn the town of Gome Pilitza.
the Turks captured a man named ZNIil
lisavlcviteh. ITo was summarily dis
patched. Tho Turks cut off his head
and mounted it. upon a lone pole. The
?oIc offenso of (he man was that ho had
hidden his ten-year-old granddaughter
from thr barbarian invaders.
. Altogether in thoTV'jllago' oC'lOraflina
tho Turks killed six persons and mu
tilated the corpses. Thou, purely for
their own .amusement, they bound Al
exis Kovanovifch, an inoffensivo la
borer, lo a stako sunk in tho main
street, mndo a circle on his forehead,
and (irrd at it for rifle practice as at
a target. Needless to say they riddled
him with bullets.
Peasants Butchered.
Turning from this sccno of amuse
ment the Turks cut off the ears and
noses of three Servian countrymen
named UoshkoA itch, Savitch and Stc
phanovilch, and after leading thorn
around the litlio square in the town
for n half hour, decapitated them. A
poor old man who saw theso crimes
covered his eyes with his hands to shut
out the horrible sight. Noticinc this,
tho Turks seized the man, gouged out
his eyes. and left him lying senseless in
the street.
Tn tho village of Buyauawatz they
took a boy eight years old and disem
boweled him for tho simple reason that
ho was a Servian. And for the saiu'e
reason tho Turkish police who wore
guarding tho town did nothing to pro
tect hi in.
Unnamable Crimes.
The Turks took exceptional pleasure
in the horrible naago of a daughter of
a couple in a. manner which 1 may not
indicate, under the eyes of her an
guished parents, or in tho maltreatment
of a wiTo in the sight of her husband.
Whon they come upon a Christian
woman whoso personal appearance

LONDON;, Nov. . Daniel II. Dono
huc, special correspondent of tho
Chronicle, telegraphs tho follow
ing from Constanza, 'Rumania:
"Turkey is in a desperate plight. She
is confronted with a wrecked army and
the prospect ivo ruin of her empire in
Kuropc. Now that a national calamity
has overtaken her, numbers of prophets
who foretold her approaching dissolu
tion arc increasing daily. With thcto it
is easy to be wise in view of contem
porary events, but there were many
thoughtful and serious minded Otto
mans in tho army and "outside who
viowed with genuine misgivings thoir
country's determination to accept the
giigo of battle rather than submit lo
what she considered diplomatic humilia
tion. It is only another instance in
modern European history, of valor get
ting tho better of vdiaeretion ; : of-diplomacy
outpacing- military -preparedness.
"Abdullah Pai-ha-was one.-of ' those

colossus with feet' of clay, lml. brave
soldier and courteous gentleman that
ho is, although his heart .was, heavy
with sorroAV at the certain knowledge
that; ho was foredoomed to failure, he
did not shirk his duty, as did his
brother general, through avIioso notor
ious incompetence, when holding a high
ministerial office, is due the much la
mented disorganization of today.
Markecl for Scapegoat.
"Already tho finger of scorn is point
ed, at Abdullah. Ho is earmarked as
the national scapegoat. His offense,
disappointedly A-jewed, is that Avifh a
strong army he ventured into the Avilds
of Tin ace to attempt to beat tho fine
ly disciplined and highly organized
enemy.
"Three Avecks ago Abdullah Pasha,
standing on tho piazza in front of the
war offico at Stamboul, watching the
motley croAvd that a sergeant was en
deavoring to lick into some semblance
of military shape, made the significant
remak to a brother officer:

N-EW YOItTC. Nor. 4. The most
vigorous presidential tight in re
cent years came to an ond to
night, with the leading candi
dates for the nation's chief office con
tinuing their personal appeal to voters
almost to tho last moment. President

Mj)re than the presidency is -at stake
in life'-elections tomorrow. Tho Repub
lican' forces have concentrated their ef
forts in doubtful states to prevent an
oAerturning of local organizations or a
capture of' the legislatures in states
heretofore safely Republican. The Dem
ocrats have made an organized assault
upon a number of slates to control the
legislatures so that the majority in tho
United Stales senate maj" be swung to
the Democratic column.
Democratic Claims.
Against Republican predictions that
the senate Avill remain Republican, Dem
ocratic national lenders claimed enough
fetatcs lo give them the senate and to
SAvcll greatly their majority in the
house of representatives which they
captured in 1910.

through a longer period of heated con
troversy. Tho fight for the presidency
Avas under av.iv in February and has
scarcely lagged since that time. Out
of the eight men who Averc active can
didates for presidential nominations
early in the summer, three leading can
didates, representing three parties
whose relative strength is a matter of
conjecture, still remain to solicit the
voters' support tomorrow.
The influence of women in tho cam

Where Women Vote.
In the six western states, where wom
en Avill vote. Wyoming. Utah, Colorado.

the results. In five other states, Ari

"Wisconsin tho right of Avomen to vote
will bo an issue at tho polls.
Pair Aveather is predicted for the ma
jority of states. The uncertainty caused
by the third partv ticket, the more

managers to all voters to ,lgo to the

fights for -tate offices and control of

a certainty of victory for his partv.
but at the sanio time each was viiblv iH
worried as to tho outcome. Joneh of
tho thrco leading partiso in the sta'r
has made an active campaign in the
.state and county, and each partv has
apparent reasons to feel encouraged
For the past week there luw been in
dications of disintegration of the He
publican organization in this county
and in. the statc at large. This mav jH
onuse a defection in the ranks that
will cause the defeat of tho Ropubli
cans. Tho Republican party, hoAvcvcr,
has alwaA-s maintained a good lead m !
the stato and this lead may bo large
enough to keep tho Republicans in
Hinges on Salt Lake. H
The situation immediately hinges on fll
tho result in. this county. Should the
Democrats or Progressives carry tho
county tho Democrats will likely carrv
the state. Jf the Republicans carry
the county their plurality in thft statu
Avill not be much larger than their phi- 9
rality in this county. . I
Tho Democrats havo the best organi- 9
zation they havo ever had both in. tho
county and stato and havo been re
ceiviug encouraging reports frnm aU
part? of tho stato and from tho various jH
districts in the county. Furthermore
the Democrats have had much more
money than usual and havo been able
to make a complote canvass of the conn-
ty and the state. Possibility of vieton
has caused tho Democratic enthusiasts
to make a vigorous campaign.
With the enthusiasm of recent con jH
verts to a new cause the Progressive? jH
have been particularly active. In tvlt
Lake county where they , have 1cmi
making tho principal contest, tbcv are jH

little money here. In main- of tho
smaller counties of the state they have fl
had no organization and have put up no
county tickets except in the larger
counties. In the larger counties of the
state they have been showing remark
able strenUh. This is especially true
in Box Elder, Cache, Carbon, Sevier,

Progressives arc claiming most of these
